Large prototyping PCB for the Arduino MKR Series (MKR1000, MKR FOX 1200 etc).

What is it?

Prototyping PCB for the Arduino MKR Series (MKR Zero, MKR 1000 WiFi, MKR FOX 1200, MKR WAN 1300, MKR GSM 1400). It allows you to create more permanent and reliable prototypes than breadboard and to securely mount the prototype in a case. The Arduino can also be powered by external DC source rather than through the USB port and provides for easy off-board connections.

Why did you make it?

Breadboard prototypes are very fragile, it's all too easy for a wire to come out and then difficult to figure out where to put it back. This PCB allows the wiring to be soldered on along with the components for a more reliable circuit.

To make a more permanent usable project it needs to be mounted in a case, breadboard is far from ideal and the other option is a dedicated PCB which becomes expensive.

What makes it special?

Suitable for the Arduino MRK Series.

Large breakout area on the lower half.

Arduino pins connected to breakout pads either side of the device.

Double 1206 pads for D0-D7 top side for resistor + led combination, useful for diagnostics indications on those pins.

External connector holes either side of lower half with double connected holes to allow for easy PCB connection to the connector.

What is a Tindarian?

We recognize our top users by making them a Tindarian. Tindarians have access to secret & unreleased features.

How does one become a Tindarian?

We look for the most active & best members of the Tindie community, and invite them to join. There isn't a selection process or form to fill out. The only way to become a Tindarian is by being a nice & active member of the Tindie community!

About ThingySticks

Building the Internet of Things one bit at a time.

The products listed are all open source, more information can be found on the ThingySticks.com website and our GitHub account. They are generally designed to solve a problem I have and want a simple solution for.

Currently all the sticks are based around the Particle Photon or the Electron. They will also work with the Bluz which is pin compatible with the Photon.
